Yes, hoping! NY Times is a pay to read site! Frustrating!

Rats, I swore I did the gift link.

The WSJ link sent me to a pay wall.

Did you try the link in the previous post? It appears to be a free shared link.

The WSJ was also pay to read. Just to save going back up the chain, here is what PRR 60 quoted from it:

The Pacific Surfliner train runs along some of the most spectacular coastline in America, traversing Southern California bluffs and beaches while ocean waves crash on the golden sand nearby. Soon, some fear it might fall into the ocean.

Rising sea levels and powerful storms are eating away at the ground holding up the tracks on the second most popular Amtrak rail corridor in the U.S. The route runs 351 miles from San Diego through Los Angeles to California’s Central Coast and is also used by freight and commuter trains. The erosion has caused landslides that shut down the Surfliner at least a dozen times in the past six years.

(For their 351 miles they must be going well north of LA. Per old ATSF timetables, Los Angeles to San Diego was 127.9 miles.)
